“This House is Perfect”

Left on 09/08/2013 for a stay in September 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Sep 8, 2013Stayed Sep 2013

Rented this house for a 3 day mini-reunion/21st bday celebration for my son. It was perfect in all ways. House has everything you need. Hot tub was clean and ran well. There are instructions for all the electronics/fireplace/ etc, which is helpful. We spotted whales from the hot tub and witnessed both a lovely sunset and an amazing lightening storm from the incredible ocean view deck. The beach is accessible from a steep sandy path, not good if you have stroller or elderly folks. It's a short steep walk back up the path, but you can also walk back through town. We would definitely rent this place again. SSV was very easy to work with. Thanks!

We had an awesome time at the house. The layout was perfect for our needs and gave us plenty of room to spread out and have individual space if needed. The view was phenomenal

“family holiday”

Left on 07/26/2012 for a stay in July 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Jul 26, 2012Stayed Jul 2012

We had a great time. The pack and play should have had an upper deck as our baby was only 4 months old! The house was pretty much as advertised and we were not disappointed.

“a perfect weekend”

Left on 02/07/2012 for a stay in February 2012 | Janet V.Reviewed Feb 7, 2012Stayed Feb 2012

Absolutely loved it! A perfect place for a ladies weekend! Literally down a sand dune and two blocks to downtown Manzanita! We had a such a great time - we're going to rent it again!

“Second time here was so disappointing! Sad, sad house.”

Left on 11/29/2011 for a stay in November 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Nov 29, 2011Stayed Nov 2011

We stayed at this house 3 years ago and had a wonderful time. When we got to the house this year, there was a horrible mold smell in the downstairs bedrooms and hall. The hall carpet was soaking wet. We assumed it was due to the rain storm and reported it to SSVR the next morning. It turns out that the water heater had been leaking.(kudos to SSVR for getting it replaced that day) The roof was leaking in several places- there was a bowl with a towel in the middle of the living room to catch one of the leaks. The back windows were leaking as well. The bedding was worn and the towels were all old and frayed. The kitchen was still fine but one skillet is not sufficient for 9 people staying there. We ended up having to leave a day early as the mold was making 3 of our guests sick. This is a nice home in a great location that has been sadly neglected and is in need of repair. I hope that the owners show it some TLC.

Thank you for your feedback. Both the smell and wet carpet was to due to the water heater leaking on the day of guest check in. We immediately replaced the water heater and cleaned up the water. I am pleased to let you know the smell definetely isn't mold, just musty from the water leak. It has been cleaned up, dried and good as new! There were a few leaks found due to the heavy rains we have had, but the owners took immediate action to repair them. There are plenty of new bedding and towels and also the owner purchased several new frying pans.

“Perfect Gathering Place”

Left on 05/25/2011 for a stay in May 2011 | Kim S.Reviewed May 25, 2011Stayed May 2011

The home was spotless, amazing view on the hillside, yet still within walking distance to the beach. Perfect spot for a group to lounge and enjoy! The managing staff are wonderful. We were extremely happy with the cleanliness and upkeep of the house.

“Family Thanksgiving at Bella vista in Manzanita”

Left on 11/30/2010 for a stay in November 2010 | Paul N.Reviewed Nov 30, 2010Stayed Nov 2010

Lots of snow delayed a few family members from this trip but everyone made it in time for Thanksgiving. The house has a beautiful view of the ocean (hence the name) and we all enjoyed our stay. Several issues to improve on - the direction brochure says that we need to provide our own wood but the house rules said that wood was provided (it was in the garage). We also had a circuit blow on us but couldn't locate the circuit breaker wher the circuit was blown. Found one circuit in the laudnry room but none were tripped. Without power for several days for a portion of the house. Suspect a second circuit breaker is behind a locked door in the garage - not a good plan.

“The Bella Vista Rocks!!”

Left on 09/21/2010 for a stay in September 2010 | Derek M.Reviewed Sep 21, 2010Stayed Sep 2010

Princess Jenni @ SSVR was incredibly helpful, generous and catering to our needs. They made it easy and fun to find the perfect house for our family event! Everybody LOVED the Bella Vista! It's cozy, yet big enough to accomodate about 80 guests that came to our family event! It was a little bit hard to arrange a way for out guests to get there without disturbing the neighbors or violating the parking rule, but it all worked out! We WILL be back!!
